Game infection rate (actual!)

Got stuck between P1 and D4 yesterday but the trend continues = every game (except few odd ones) is infested.

Thinking about numbers posted by Respawn I would tend to lean towards the idea that "infection rate" is calculated = hackers per match / 60 (total players). From my past experience indeed there are at least 3-4 usually more hackers PER MATCH which oddly meets the 7.6% figure aka 4.5 hackers per 60 players.

Somehow I have a feeling that as per now established "feed lower ranked players to Preds" matchmaking algorithm game treats those hacker squads (usually doing 10+ kp games again and again) as Preds (well they kinda are similar) = every game INTENTIONALLY might be populated with 1-3 squads of "better than average" players and similarly how Preds are not pinned against eachother hackers do too avoid playing mostly other hacking squads.

At this point I am considering maybe going for D4 but honestly 50% of me has given up on a motivation to persevere and play Diamond lobbies at this state of the game, very probably will just switch back to Valorant and other games in the meantime...current state of Apex is just sad, very sad.
